OpenLoops 2

 

About The OpenLoops 2 program is a fully automated implementation of the Open Loops algorithm combined with on-the-fly reduction methods, which allows for the fast and stable numerical evaluation of tree and one-loop matrix elements for any Standard Model process at NLO QCD and NLO EW.

On this website you find the latest version of OpenLoops with installation instructions and a documentation of the most important features, input parameters, and available Fortran90 and C/C++ interfaces.

This webpage is still under construction and will be updated regularly. A reference manual will become available soon.
